Continuing our IDWIP series under the ILIH Campaign, we now turn from the hills of Bangladesh to the vibrant lands of Northeast India, where Indigenous youth carry forward the fight for their ancestral territories.
From the sacred Umang forests of the Meitei to the communities safeguarding rivers, mountains, and fields, these young defenders are not only preserving traditions but confronting threats from land grabs, extractive projects, and cultural erasure.
Each story is not just to be read, but to be acted upon. Every voice is a call to defend ancestral lands. Every action is a step toward justice. Join us in amplifying these stories, standing in solidarity, and demanding that the world respect the truth: Indigenous Lands belong in Indigenous Hands.
